ABSTRACT

An in situ H2O2 generation approach to promote P450 peroxygenases catalysis was developed through the use of the nicotinamide cofactor analogue 1-benzyl-1,4-dihydronicotinamide (BNAH) and flavin mononucleotide (FMN). Final productivity could be enhanced due to higher enzyme stability at low H2O2 concentrations. The H2O2 generation represented the rate-limiting step, however it could be easily controlled by varying both FMN and BNAH concentrations. Further characterization can result in an optimized ratio of FMN/BNAH/O2/biocatalyst enabling high reaction rates while minimizing H2O2-related inactivation of the enzyme.
